Not a common horror movie, and not a very good one at that.

Rating: 3/10 (5 July 2003)

Well, some people liked this movie, either as a plain horror/thriller or some twisted, little sci-fi flick.
I could read between the lines and saw the commentary on society's own cruelty, and how we can devolve to our baser states quite rapidly (whether you are an 'infected' or normal person). Also, how the thin veneer of civilisation can be punctured by the smallest thing to show the truer side of man.
But to advertise this movie as "scary as hell" or "an unexpected terror" or "original and provocative"...I don't think so.
I think I saw this movie before. A handful of "post-apocalyptic" stories where survivors struggle to find *whatever*, and even in "The Omega Man" (Heston kicks some serious infected butt!). So I can't call this movie original.
I have a number of problems with the storyline, scenario, pace, and ending (I guess it had to have a happy ending...but did it?), but at least one thing makes up for all that--I'll never have to see it again. ...until they do a sequel, called [wait for it...] "another 28 Days Later", which will star Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy. Whoops, that's a rip off of another movie.
